中国清洁能源再签大单！赫伯罗特与金风科技达成合作协议，年交付25万吨绿色甲醇！

赫伯罗特已与中国北京的清洁能源公司金风科技达成合作协议，每年将交付25万吨绿色甲醇。这种绿色甲醇由生物甲醇和电子甲醇混合而成，确保温室气体排放量至少减少70%，并符合所有当前的可持续性认证要求。

赫伯罗特公司首席执行官Rolf Habben Jansen表示：“作为我们2030年战略的一部分，我们完全致力于实现《巴黎协定》中1.5摄氏度的目标，因此也致力于可持续投资。”他补充道：“通过这项协议，我们将确保大部分绿色燃料的需求得到满足。这将使我们离到2045年实现船队净零运营的目标更近一步。”他还指出，赫伯罗特的目标是在班轮运输业的转型中发挥主导作用。

到2030年，赫伯罗特计划将其船队的绝对温室气体排放量比2022年减少约三分之一。与传统燃料相比，订购的绿色甲醇每年可以在船队运营中节省高达40万吨二氧化碳当量的排放。

金风科技计划在其位于中国兴安盟的现有项目附近建造一座新的绿色甲醇工厂。与此同时，金风科技还将按计划提前至2026年完成交付。金风董事长吴刚表示：“我们很荣幸能与赫伯罗特达成这一协议。这次合作再次证明了金风能够赢得最重要的航运公司之一的信任。感谢有机会成为赫伯罗特强有力的脱碳合作伙伴，其目标是在航运业目标之前实现碳中和，这与金风的企业愿景紧密一致。”

金风绿色甲醇负责人刘日新指出，计划中的新工厂将与其邻近的姊妹工厂共享技术、公用设施、设施和基础设施，以提高生产效率。他还补充道：“这仍取决于金风董事会的财务投资决定。我们预计兴安岭盟百万吨级绿色甲醇基地将于2027年底完工。”

赫伯罗特全球燃料采购高级总监Jan Christensen指出，绿色甲醇是赫伯罗特实现可持续航运解决方案的多燃料战略的关键途径。此外，赫伯罗特和Seaspan将于2026年改装为合适的甲醇双燃料推进系统的5艘10100标准箱的租船将由绿色甲醇提供动力。

除了11月6日宣布的24艘配备低排放双燃料液化天然气发动机的新集装箱船的投资决定外，对绿色甲醇的投资是赫伯罗特为多燃料未来做好准备并推动班轮运输业脱碳的又一步。

The green methanol will consist of a blend of bio- and e-methanol, ensuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of at least 70%, and comply with all current sustainability certification requirements.

"As part of our Strategy 2030, we are fully committed to the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement and, therefore, also to sustainable investments," said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd AG.

"With the agreement, we are securing a significant proportion of our requirements for green fuels. This will bring us an important step closer to our goal of achieving net-zero fleet operations by 2045," he added, noting that it is and remains the carrier's ambition to play a leading role in the transformation of the liner shipping industry.

By 2030, Hapag-Lloyd aims to reduce the fleet's absolute GHG emissions by around one-third compared to 2022.

Compared to conventional fuels, the ordered quantity of green methanol can save up to 400,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions in fleet operations per year.

Goldwind is planning to build a new green methanol factory adjacent to its existing project in Hinggan League, China.

Meanwhile, Goldwind will additionally deliver early volume scheduled in 2026.

"We are honoured to have reached this agreement with Hapag-Lloyd. This collaboration proves once again that Goldwind can win the trust of one of the most important shipping companies. We are grateful for the opportunity to become a strong decarbonization partner of Hapag-Lloyd, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality ahead of the shipping industry targets and aligns closely with Goldwind's corporate vision," said Wu Gang, chairman of Goldwind.

Liu Rixin, head of Goldwind Green Methanol, noted that the planned new factory will share technology, utilities, facilities and infrastructures with its neighbouring sister plant, boosting production efficiency.

"It is still subject to the financial investment decision of the Goldwind Board. We anticipate the completion of a megaton green methanol base in Hinggan League in late 2027," Rixin added.

Jan Christensen, senior director of Global Fuel Purchasing at Hapag-Lloyd, noted that green methanol represents a key pathway within Hapag-Lloyd's multi-fuel strategy to achieve sustainable shipping solutions.

Among other things, the five 10,100 TEU charter ships that Hapag-Lloyd and Seaspan are converting to a suitable methanol dual-fuel propulsion system in 2026 will be powered by green methanol.

In addition to the recent investment decision for 24 new container ships with low-emission dual-fuel liquefied natural gas engines announced on November 6, the investment in green methanol is another step in Hapag-Lloyd’s efforts to prepare itself for a multi-fuel future and to drive the decarbonization of the liner shipping industry.
